Is Southern California a good place to start my portfolio

[Anthony Garcia]

I am very new here about to turn 22 this month. I’ve read some of Brandon’s books as well as others, watched a crap load of podcasts (love bigger pockets btw) and ready to start taking action. Currently looking to start real estate wholesaling to help gain some capital while I’m working a full time job. I was working as a pool man (new job now) and unfortunately my old boss screwed me out of $14,000 in payment so I’m starting from scratch looking to bounce back!! I’m fired up about real estate but it seem all these successful investors live everywhere BUT California 😂 Looking for successful investors out here in California for tips on how they got started
